 Abstract: To better understand the shallow structure of El Hierro island, we determined a 3D S-wave velocity model using Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT). We exploited a dataset recorded by 21 broadband seismic stations deployed at El Hierro island in two surveys realized in 2015 and 2021. This dataset allowed us to obtain empirical Green’s functions by cross-correlating seismic ambient noise signals and retrieving 105 dispersion curves using the frequency-time analysis (FTAN). Then we obtained 2-D Rayleigh wave group velocity maps for periods between 0.6 s and 2.6 s through a non-linear multiscale inversion (Cabrera-Pérez et al, 2021). Finally, we performed depth inversion through a Bayesian transdimensional approach to obtain a 3-D S-wave velocity model. The obtained ANT model is merged with a local earthquake tomography model (García-Yeguas et al, 2014). Our study highlights six relevant seismic velocity anomalies. We observed the presence of three high-velocity zones located in the eastern, western and northern parts of the island, which could be related to intrusive bodies possibly associated with the formation of El Hierro island. We also observed three low-velocity anomalies in the northern and southern parts. The anomaly in the North of the island could be related to loose deposits generated by the El Golfo valley megalandslide. The anomalies in the South could be related to porous and highly fractured materials produced during the more recent volcanic episodes.
